Akash is just a poster like you and me and used to run Niner Nation.
Here's what someone else responded with....
Does this metric measure pass block efficiency or simply just sack percentages? If they consistently beat their man and get to the QB who throws it away quickly, they could still be a bad unit
I'll say this as clearly as I can; stats should provide additional detail to what your eyes generally see. I think it's absolutely laughable that he's calling this OL a top 10 pass blocking unit. Thank goodness we don't **only** observe football blindly through stats.
So because he ran Niner Nation that means he doesn't understand how football works lol? s**t I read/listen to a lot of his stuff and he's pretty knowledgeable too me.
No one is saying that we have some elite OL, it's also not as horrible as fans think. I don't think it's a top 10 unit either FWIW...when fans don't understand protection calls, what the play is actually asking of players, who should have been the first read, what the QB was supposed to do etc it's very easy to point the finger at something...for the most part people in here and on Twitter don't understand the nuances of all of it. I'm not saying I do either...but I damn well know there's more to it. Quantitative Data helps and I agree shouldn't be the end all be all either...
FYI this gets labeled a QB hit/sack on NC's cool weekly QB hit stat lol.
Absolutely nothing to do with the OL.
